What guests think

Across reviews of Days Inn by Wyndham Salem, guests describe an older, budget, motel-style property with exterior entries that delivers basic stays at a low price, but with inconsistent upkeep, variable service, and a neighborhood that sometimes feels uneasy.

Cleanliness feedback ranges widely, with many reports of dirty floors and bathrooms, mold or odors, and recurring roaches or other bugs, though some guests did find clean rooms. Rooms are basic and dated but beds are often comfortable; guests note traffic noise, weak TV or Wi‑Fi, and occasional heating or cooling problems. Service is mixed—some praise friendly, accommodating staff and easy check‑ins, while others cite slow or rude interactions and limited help when problems arose. The location is convenient to highways and shops but can feel sketchy; expect a no‑frills stopover with variable quality.

I stayed at the Days Inn by Wyndham Salem, and my overall impression was that the hotel was very dirty. The room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. Upon arrival, I found a dead cockroach, which I reported to the front desk. However, it was only removed the next day. The following day, a live cockroach was walking around in the bathroom, which clearly shows a complete lack of hygiene and proper care for cleanliness. Breakfast was poor, with limited variety, and the gym was unacceptable—just there for appearance, with no real conditions for exercise, as it was a tiny, unventilated space. Overall, I did not enjoy or approve of my stay at this hotel and would not recommend it.

There were a bunch of old mattress and junk piled behind the motel and you had to drive past them to get out.

The vending machine room was broken into Vinnie. Machine was broken In two, and there were hypodermic needles on the floor asked them to. Get them up and you take care of it and they did not. Not a good place for children.

Room was very basic. Continental breakfast was very limited. 3 cereals, some bread, and a few muffins. The waffle machine seemed to be working, but long line. Coffee was lighter than tea. I just chose not to eat it. The ice machine had standing water in it that was disgusting. Room was fairly clean, and so were beds. most of the stations on the TV were staticky. Cracks in the ceiling. also, I didn't realize that my license wasn't given back to me when I checked in, until AFTER I checked out. No one notified me. I went back in and they had it, along with a stack of other licenses, which i thought odd. Did I pay a lot for the room, no, so I didn't expect a lot. Will i stay there again, no.

I was in town for work, towing a trailer. The property wasn’t huge, but they easily accommodated my truck/trailer. The staff was friendly, helpful. It is an older property, and that showed. Also, our room had dead bugs near the front door, so left something to be desired in terms of cleaning. Bedsheets and beds were clean and we’re comfortable. AC got real cold. Overall, it was a decent hotel for the price.

Room did not look like pictures. Had to enter the room from the outside like a motel. No front desk staff at night. Front doors locked from dusk until dawn. Not in a great area. Security latch on door was barely hanging on. Took a cold shower because water barely got warm.

The light on the door lock wasn't working, so we couldn't tell when it was unlocked. The floor of the room was dirty. The bathroom was dirty and the toilet bowl looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a month. It was covered with pink and black mold. The sink smelled like sewage. We checked out early and told the desk clerk. He said the GM would contact us about our issues, but it's been 4 days and we haven't heard back.

This motel was incredibly dirty. There was a dead roach on the bathroom floor and what appeared to be pubic hair stuck to the shower ceiling. There was black mold in the shower as well. The clock was broken and the room altogether was outdated and not clean.

Used this property to crash for a night during a road trip. Didn’t expect anything much just clean bed and linen. I mean it should be better than sleeping in a car right…. This property takes the cake for poorly maintained and dirty. Ac never got cold, hair all over the place from the bed to the shower. Not just a strand or two either like full on DNA over kill. Anyway toilets were filthy with brown marks, bathtub same thing. Towels looked like they’re at the 10 year mark and are only 1% cotton left. Disgusting! Hopefully I can save someone the experience. Drive a bit further for one of the top brands we only did this cause it was super close to the highway (81).

The hotel was clean and service was good, but it was a very cold room. The heater was on 85 and the room wouldn’t get warm. The door had wind blowing throw the cracks of the door making the room very cold at night. Had to move things in front of door just to keep the room warm.

Our main complaint about the room was the poor television and internet connection. The wifi was spotty and the streaming of television content was extremely poor - it was basically unwatchable, as it buffered slowly after every few seconds of footage.

The management when I checked in, which was around 5pm was professional. I made my reservation through Expedia and paid in full at that time. Upon arrival, the desk manager told me that I needed to pay. I showed him the receipt for psymen through Expedia. He asked for me to call them so he could speak with them. The situation finally was straightened out. I'm not entirely sure what happened .

We were in town for a concert. Check-in took forever, almost made us late. When we got in the room, the floors in the bathroom had poop/diarrhea stains on them as well as the side of the toliet. We called front desk and asked to come have the bathroom clean and were advised there was no housekeeping they couldn't clean it. We had to leave for the concert, couldn't get another room. Very difficult to make the front desk guy understand, we did take pictures. He offered $20 off. We shouldn't have had to pay at all.

The person who checked us in was friendly; the person on the front desk in the morning was surly and unapproachable. The door to our room would not close all the way (though we could lock the turning device) and we had a cool breeze and a neighbor's smoke sneaking in during the night. When the trash can was full at breakfast the surly desk person just rolled an uncovered trash can out into the dining area. YUCK!

Desk clerk was incredibly rude and argumentative. Yelling at us as he's checking us in. 14 yrs experience and he hasn't learned how to treat a guest or do his job. We usually stay here because its closest to family for family gatherings. This time was for our father's funeral. We will never book here again. I give a 2 star because the breakfast has improved over the years.

The front staff were so friendly, and the room was very clean. It could get a little loud, especially at night, but that is most likely the area and I don’t think that is anything the hotel can control. It’s also pretty close off the highway, so walking anywhere isn’t an option. But most things are close while driving.

Liked the updated interior, although in still needs minor attention to detail. Dirty shower curtains, shower faucet and valve need major updating. Exterior definitely needs some major improvements. Included breakfast with the stay was extremely poor. Honestly better to add additional few dollars and get what you expect from another rental place.
